I find all the video titles in PyCon 2017 aren't well presented or worth to watch than PyCon 2016. Displaying code against the white background is awful.

That's fast! Thanks PyCon 2017 organizers!

Every tech conference have some presentations that look good, but go out as boring, and some hidden gems. Would you recommend some of the videos?

  My favorite so far: Raymond Hettinger Modern Python Dictionaries A confluence of a dozen great ideas

    Any Raymond Hettinger talk is worthwhile.

    He shows a Sphinx/RTD output during the video as his slides. Is that published anywhere public?

    YT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npw4s1QTmPg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npw4s1QTmPg slides for the 2016 talk: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3967849/sfmu2/_build/html/main.html https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3967849/sfmu2/_build/htm... The 2017 slides are better, but I can't find them they are mentioned in the beginning of the talk though.

  I really enjoyed Solid Snakes: https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/146/ https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/146/ Lots of insight and tools for building reliable systems Grok the GIL: https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/320/ https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/320/ was also an excellent talk if you've heard of the GIL, but aren't exactly sure how it works, he shows you the CPython code and several examples of it working. Finally, Constructive Code Review: https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/663/ https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/663/ was a great talk about the human side of programming and time management.

    Solid Snakes has a excellent page with the referenced links: https://hynek.me/talks/reliability/ https://hynek.me/talks/reliability/ I liked the presentation, but, probably due to already knowing almost all, didn't find it great. Better to read the link above first.

My talk at Pycon was about building modern commandline shells using python. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJhZhLg3obk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJhZhLg3obk I'd love some feedback.

  You talk about https://bpython-interpreter.org/ https://bpython-interpreter.org/, do you actually use that? That looks pretty awesome! Otherwise I really like the 10min demo at the end. Your library really looks amazing. I do not have any tools that would need it at the moment but I'm definitely bookmarking that :) Actually I know someone who might benefit from that (http://www.pappyproxy.com/ http://www.pappyproxy.com/)

    Yes! I always use bpython never the default python repl. That's one of the very few python packages that gets installed system wide.

I thought David Wolever's talk on exploring CPython internals was quite good. Doesn't assume any prior knowledge on how CPython functions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5_5XmmwMx8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5_5XmmwMx8

what, no beazley?
MustafaAdam 9y ago
First of all, I'm glad Beazley wasnt there. That dude never does talks geared towards most python programmers. Always talks about mystical and niche shit. Second of all, The talks are getting repetitive. There were really any new fresh talks this year. Most of them were either very close to earlier talks or just exact copies. It was more like how comedians repeat their jokes in order to perfect them. But these guys are repeating the same old talks but to no end. If you've seen earlier talks, you can easily skip this one.
